We all know that ice is formed by freezing of water. Whenever the temperature of water falls to zero degree Celsius or less, it becomes ice. As we increase in height compared to sea level, the temperature gradually decreases. And in such places we see more snow. But have you ever thought that the water from which snow is made is colourless, then how does the color of snow become white? Why is it not of any other colour? Let us know the correct answer.
According to experts, it is absolutely true that water is colourless. When water is in its natural form it is liquid. The reflection of the sun or any other object gets distributed in it like a liquid. And when water takes the form of ice, it becomes solid layer by layer. Then the reflection of the sun on it also becomes permanent. We are seeing that frozen water as a white color. Every thing created by nature has the ability to absorb. It can be substance or metal. Just as we can give colors to all the objects on earth with the help of sunlight, the same happens with snow also.
mostly air inside ice
But the basic question still remains, why is it white? The reason for this is that there is mostly air inside the ice and it reflects most of the waves of light. You will be surprised to know that when snow comes from the sky, it is colourless, but as soon as the rays of light fall on it, when we look at it, due to the reflection of light, its color starts appearing white.
Then why not red or other colors
What happens is that most of the time there are gases dissolved in water, which form small bubbles and pockets in the ice. For this reason the color is white. Now you might be wondering why not red or other colors, actually the color of light is white, that is why it appears white to us. Since water is colourless, it appears white to us. If it had any color then it would appear to us in a different color.
